Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] The present invention relates to a stirring device for liquid in a bottling tank.

For example, in order to bottle fruit drinks containing fruit particles homogeneously, stirring blades are provided in the bottling tank to stir the liquid while bottling.

1 and 2 respectively show conventional examples of the above-mentioned stirring device. In FIG. 1, 1 is a bottling tank, a plurality of bottling valves 2 are provided on the circumference, and the top surface is The lid 3 is attached. 4 is
A liquid supply pipe located at the center of the tank is fixed to the arch 5, and is adapted to supply liquid into the tank 1 from the direction of the arrow 6 via piping and a control device (not shown). Reference numeral 7 indicates a tank support stand, and reference numeral 8 indicates a cylinder table, which are rotatably supported by a support base 9 and rotated together with the tank 1. 10 is a lift cylinder provided on the cylinder table 8 in correspondence with the valve 2;
1 can be raised and lowered. 12 is a stirring blade fixed to the lower part of the liquid supply pipe 4;
The liquid is stirred by using the movement of the liquid as it rotates with the machine.

In this case, although the structure is simple and inexpensive, there was a problem that optimum stirring could not be achieved because the stirring rotation speed could not be adjusted (the rotation speed of the tank was determined by the bottling capacity).

On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 2, a stirring blade 13 is rotatably attached to the liquid supply pipe 4 via a collar 14,
A motor 18 with a gear 15 integrated with the blade 13 installed on the arch 5, a variable speed reducer 16, and a gear 17
In this case, the rotation speed of the stirring blade 13 can be set to match the optimum stirring conditions, but an independent drive source is required and it is expensive. At the same time, there was a risk of oil falling from the motor and the transmission/reducer, and furthermore, during high-temperature bottling, the steam generated could cause an electrical leakage accident in the motor.

This invention was proposed in view of the above points,
A rotating bottling tank, a stirring blade disposed within the tank and rotatable relative to the tank, and a stirring blade integral with the stirring blade and extending in the axial direction and outside the bottling tank. It is characterized by consisting of a driven gear, a planetary gear that meshes with the gear and is attached to the bottling tank, and an internal gear that meshes with and is held by the planetary gear, and its purpose is independent. does not require a special drive means,
Furthermore, the present invention aims to provide a stirring device for a liquid in a bottling tank in which the rotation of the stirring blade can be arbitrarily set.

Since the present invention is constructed as described above, the stirring blade can be rotated using the rotation of the bottling tank, and the rotation speed can be arbitrarily selected by the tooth ratio of the gear. Falling or
There is no risk of electrical leakage accidents, and optimal stirring conditions can be set.

Hereinafter, the present invention will be explained based on the illustrated embodiment shown in FIGS. 3 and 4.

In FIGS. 3 and 4, 1 to 11 are the same as those in the conventional system described above, and in this embodiment, a stirring blade 21 is rotatably attached to the lower part of the liquid supply pipe 4 via a collar 22. And this stirring blade 2
A gear 23 is provided integrally with the arch 5, and an internal gear 24 is provided on the lower surface of the arch 5, and a planetary gear 25 is provided so as to mesh with the internal gear 24 and the gear 23.
It is configured to be rotatably mounted on a shaft 26 fixed to the tank lid 3.

According to the above configuration, as the tank 1 rotates in the direction of arrow A, the planetary gear 25 rotates within the internal gear 24 in the direction of arrow B, so the gear 23 meshing therewith rotates in the direction of arrow C. Rotate. Therefore, the stirring blade 21 also rotates in the same direction to stir the liquid in the tank 1. At this time, the rotational speed of the stirring blade can be arbitrarily set by the ratio of the number of teeth of the gears 23, 24, and 25.

Therefore, an independent drive means such as a motor or a speed reducer is not required, and the cost can be reduced, and there is no risk of oil dripping or electrical leakage accidents. Further, the rotation speed of the stirring blade can be determined in accordance with the optimum stirring conditions, and the rotation speed can also be easily adjusted by replacing gears.
